Name: Kaga Age: 10 years Gender: Male Physical Description: He is quite small for his age, but also very strong and wily. With his tiny frame, he can often fit into places where adults and even other children cannot. His feet seem disproportional to his body, rough and calloused as if he's never had shoes in his life. He's always thin and dark-skinned, showing how much he is outdoors and how little luck he has had thus far in life.
The only thing remarkable about him is his startling blue eyes, showing that he is not all native. At some point he is related to the Cherokees and thus the Caucasians, but his appearance does not show it except for the eyes. He's a rather ragtag mix of all tribes, a mutt with no home and no hope at all. Weight: Unknown Height: Unknown Personality: He is far from the carefree child that he should have been. Kago is pensive and often likes to be alone with no one but mother nature and her creations. He is of quiet voice and does not speak much, seeming to not know much of language. When he does say something, it is worth listening to. He's a funny sort of kid, he doesn't like to mess around or play with others.
He loves animals, and has an uncanny way with mutts and loners like him. He is very defensive of what he loves, and if you're lucky enough to get close to him, he will love you forever. Unfortunately, this also makes him a grudge holder. Wrong him and he will remember it forever, and try to make you pay for it, as well. History: Kago himself rarely talks about it, but he was found one day just roaming around the woods, killing his dinner with his hands and barely able to speak, his only companion a strange wolf-dog. He was abandoned as a young child, it seems, and had little human contact until he found the tribe. Now, he's just trying to fit in with everyone else.
Name: Ezhno Age: Unknown Breed: Wolf-dog Gender: Male Personality: Ezhno is a loner, an outcast from human homes and wolf packs. He's rather hostile to strangers as a result. Willing to attack anybody and everybody who threatens his master, Eznho is loyal to the ends of the Earth. More of a dog than a wolf, he possesses very little hunting instinct and would starve without Kaga. History: Found wandering one day with Kaga. His history is unknown, although it is known that he was kicked out of a human home at some point.
